Looking for friendly advice, I'm not a collector nor modeler (yet) and this is not a slick way for me to advertise. I'm not a dealer etc. However, 10 years ago, I thought I would pick up on the hobby and went nuts with some purchases. One in particular was a Mantua, President Washington (B&O) Locomotive and tender. It was from their then new Collectors Series. I just dug out some storage boxes and found it. It's still in the shipping box from Mantua. I have everything including, wood display base, the original trifold glossy brochure as well as the original collectors catologues and price lists. I have another Mantua Locomotive and tender - also new and never used. It's a limited Production Run Reading B8a 0-6-0. In box with Production Run Certificate (No 246). I wanted to get some information on current pricing etc. from their website and found out they are no longer in business, which made me think I might have something of value now. I thought a forum would be a good place to start. I tried another forum site but no-one has responded. I don't need to sell it, but even if I decide to model a railroad in the future I don't see myself collecting. If it's worth something to a collector then I would consider parting with it. Can someone give me fair guidance on the value now and how I might go about selling them. Would eBay be the best way to go? Also, is their a website or reference book that lists collector values on this stuff. Feel free to contact me directly. Regards, RP
